Apple's Guidelines to Create an App
Here is a summary of Apple's guidelines:
· Apps cannot be solely marketing in nature, meaning the app cannot simply list your services or things your company has done. There must be a useful function to the app.
· They must contain dynamic content, meaning there must be a useful function to the App. Will someone find the need to open this App more than once? If not, Apple will disapprove it most likely.
· Apple loves "dynamic content" in apps. This means that there is a reason for users to look at the App multiple times after they download it. Ask yourself, "Will someone find the need to open this App more than once?" If not, Apple will disapprove it most likely. There are countless ways to add dynamic content to your app, just be creative with your content!
· An App Company, for example your new app company's name is Mobile App Masters and you want to create the "Mobile App Masters App". We cannot upload apps like this, knowing that Apple will not approve it.
· Marketing/PR/Tech Company/Website Design Companies- If the app name already has "marketing" in the title we will cannot upload it. Also these industries will not get approved by Apple.
· Weddings or Personal Events/ Conventions - Apple will never approve an app that's for a wedding or any other personal events such as this. It holds no long term value within the marketplace and after the event is over it will most likely never be used again. Apple does not want dead apps floating around their app store.
· Apps created for these types of industries are a big NO GO. They're extremely hard to create in such a way so that they do not directly violate two of Apple's biggest rules.
· Even if you believe your app doesn't violate these rules and has a useful purpose, as long as it falls under one of those "No Go" industries Apple will still reject it.
